[a boring movie with plenty of action]IMDB-7.6
RottenTomatoes-60
RJG rating-45
Sherlock Holmes continues his chase of an equally smart Prof.Moriarty
Starring- Robert Downey Jr.,Jude Law ,Jared Harris
Director- Guy Ritchie
Robert Downey gives another good performance as Holmes.But still he is no where near the original Sherlock Holmes.Jude Law is also quite good as a supporting role.Naomi Rapace had little screen time.Jared Harris as Moriarty was bearable.
Story is was the most disappointing.The movie had the old, preventing the world war plot (which was made clear after half the movie was done)till then all we see is Holmes running along making wise cracks.The resemblance of Holmes to Capt.Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean is unmistakable.
Direction was extremely poor.The pace of the movie was very slow ,and the events of the movie kept prodding along.Frequent explosions and fights were interesting but towards the end its over usage was pulling back the momentum of the movie.
The Action scenes were outstanding ,just like the previous version.Holmes' advance fighting strategies and some slow-mo explosions will interest the action junkies.
Overall Sherlock Holmes 2 is a time pass and will interest only action lovers and Downey fans.
Acting- 4/5
Story- 2/5
Direction- 2/5
Action- 4.5/5
Thriller-3/5
